Custom Footbeds are cloth like materials that are placed beneath the shoes. This clothe like materials came up because of some discomfort in shoes as people engaged in different activities. These activities include cycling and skiing. For example cyclists faced the problem of having sore feet and hence these items were invented they have been modified over the years to be more convenient.

These in fits are developed domestically or commercially. The process that is done at home is quite simple. The initial step is where the fabric used to make the in fit is gathered. The material could be old or even new. In the case it is old, it is dusted and washed.

The shapes of the in fit are determined by the type of shoe wear to be fitted into. The shape is created by the specific individual. The shape is drawn by use of a pencil or marker. The outline is made clearly to avoid gross errors.

The shape is put into practical use by of a cardboard. The cardboard is placed on to the material and a cutting is made. The cutting is done by use of a sharp blade or knife.The process is repeated to many materials. The materials are then stacked together and glued together. Dyeing is done to achieve a particular color. The final product is a domestic insole.

Afterwards, the pieces of materials are then stacked together. The pile differs in height from one insole to another. The height is determined by the purpose intended by the insole. Insoles intended for rigid activities require a thicker sole. The thick sole will be achieved by stacking more material together.

Afterwards, the cut pieces are stacked together. The stacking is still done by machines. The piling determines the thicknesses of the insole.Thicker insoles are preferred for vigorous activities such as jumping and running. The piled elements are then stuck by glue.This is to ensure that they form a common unit. Knitting then follows. The knitting is done all round the edges to ensure that the various elements are fixed together. Commercially made insoles are of better quality than domestically made.

The insoles have several benefits. They help to improve the stability of the foot by reducing the strain on the ankle tendons and stability ligaments.
